For public companies it is all about extracting as much money as the public will bear. In that sense JPMorgan is one of the best managed (profitable) banks, the current fiasco included. They have made their shareholders and employees a ton of money over the years. Since the beginning of 1984, djusting for splits and dividends, $2.84 is now worth $36. On the other hand, $34.44 invested in 2006, when Dimon took over as CEO, is now worth $35.79 or up about 3%, while the same investment in the S&P 500 Index Fund - SPY - is up about (25% -110.02 vs. 134.11). So even under the return to shareholder definition, they don't seem to have been very well manged of late.

Well of course Obama would think that JP Morgan is one of the best managed banks there is. I mean after all, they've only lost and mismanaged $2 billion, Obama has lost and mismanaged what, $7 trillion since taking office? Compared to Obama's mismanagement JP Morgan is the most efficient investors and spenders in the world.
Obama probably only wishes that he could manage money as well as JP Morgan.
Obama is spending money like a drunken sailor in the red light district after an 18 month sea deployment. I swear if we don't get this friggin hypocritical tyrant and his gestapo out of DC we are going to end up in a world of hurt and our children and grandchildren will have to suffer the consequences of the stupidity of our generation.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Homeownership in the U.S. fell to its lowest rate in 15 years during the first quarter as more delinquent borrowers lost their homes to foreclosure, forcing many to rent.
"Factoring in those discouraged adults and others working part time for lack of full time opportunities, the unemployment rate is about 14.5 percent. Adding college graduates in low-skill positions, like counterwork at Starbucks, and the unemployment rate is likely closer to 18 percent," writes Peter Morici .

Do you really have to start your rebuttal with a sad attempt at an insult?
Perhaps I touched a nerve? Or perhaps you are one of those people that resort to insults and put downs when you are faced with the fact that you have no basis to stand on?
Well you claim that the housing market is "coming back". Really?
Here's data that shows that overall the big 5 US auto industry is down a total of over 16% since 2002, not to mention the fact that 80% of GM is now owned by Fiat which means that GM is no more an American auto company than Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, or any of the other imports.
Americans bought 1.4 million cars and trucks in March, up 13 per cent from the same month a year ago. Edmunds.com said was the most vehicles sold since August 2007.
If sales stayed at March's pace all year, annual sales would reach 14.4 million, according to Autodata Corp. That's a faster pace than predicted just two months ago and builds on the strong performance seen in January and February.
You claim that last year there was a "budget surplus for the first time in 4 years". Really?!!
If that's true then why did the deficit grow by $2 trillion last year?
